More troubling questions exposed in this book are: Is there any compelling evidence for afterlife claims, which, from a rational point of view, sounds like pure fantasy? Is an existence in which billions of people are burning in hell an ethical existence for a deity and it’s selected human followers? How do these ideologies influence people and their politics? What kind of activities are likely to occur in the afterlife, and what would, for example, be the purpose of sex in the afterlife, as proposed by certain religions? Or would afterlife only consist of praising a deity, and would that be a sensible way to exist? If there is no good evidence for any afterlife, does it still make sense to live one’s only life in pursuit thereof? This book is an important critique of a major and universal claim of nearly every religion on the planet. If afterlife ideologies are indeed absurd and untrue, it has implications for how humans choose to live their lives and how they conserve their only habitable planet. This book is also unique in the genre of critique on religion in that it appraises both the Abrahamic religions with their heaven-hell duality and Eastern religions following the ideology of samsara and reincarnation.
